Rodie + GSD: NOW ENJOY THIS CHAPTER!

Seeing Chazz in that state was a complete turn-off. I mean look at him! He looked like he was about to have a mental breakdown! I feel like I've seen something I shouldn't have, how will I ever look him in the eyes again? I started to take out all my pent up frustration onto Jaden's hair as I started to run a brush through it.

Jaden was huffing and puffing in his seat, acting like nothing happened. If it was me who was going to duel Chazz…my judgement would be clouded.

"Jamie be gentle! Owwwww," Jaden's hand suddenly gripped the hair brush and he tried to turn around to face me. "My hair is fine, you can stop it now!"

I laughed awkwardly and raised my hands, "Peace out Jaden, I didn't realise I was overdoing it." I looked at my masterpiece, "Wow, I can't believe I undid all the knots in your hair. When was the time you last showered?"

"...Yesterday, but I had a good reason!" He protested as we left his room and walked to the duel arena.

Jaden didn't dare to talk about Chazz and he was acting like nothing had happened, I really wanted to know his thoughts on this. It's unhealthy for a fifteen year old to have so much stress.

"You're thinking about Chazz aren't you?" Jaden asked, finally facing me and crossing his feet under himself.

I blinked and sat on his bed, "Is it obvious?" I mumbled.

Jaden stopped for a while; he had a confused expression in his face, "I know you."

I laughed and facepalmed. "I didn't see that one coming though. Chazz crying…"

"What's wrong with that?" Jaden asked in a flat voice, "Everybody is allowed to cry."

I didn't see this coming either. "But, Chazz…"

"I know he's kinda weird, but he's a person sis, there is nothing wrong with that." He smiled brightly. "Actually it was thrilling to see him like that."

This time, the penny dropped for me. I silently cursed myself for thinking Chazz was different than us. I felt guilty, both for Sam and Chazz.

"Do you think Sam feels the same too?" I asked.

If Chazz was this affected by his elder siblings, how was Sam? I knew she was a strong girl, and wouldn't let herself dragged around by some douchebag with high status. But the person we were talking about Sam and she cared about Chazz…

"But I've seen a new part of him," he continued "I will enjoy this duel!"

"What?" I exclaimed.

I guess I should have expected this from him, "Shouldn't you be like—"

Someone knocked on the door.

"Goodness, it took me forever to find this place! Jamie, Jaden, are you in there?"

Jaden and I stared each other for a while. "What is Robin doing here?" I exclaimed both of our thoughts.

"Just open the door, evil twins!" Miranda screeched behind the closed door.

Jaden burst into laughter. "Just open the door, its not locked!" He held his tummy.

Robin twisted the knob and stood in front of the door step with a smile on her face, she still had not changed her outfit; still shorts, boots and graffiti shirt. Robin took off their shoes before entering the room and Robin shook her PDA at Jaden.

"What is the point of these things?" She asked while smiling. My hand secretly creeped toward my PDA but it was not in my pocket, but in the corner of the room.

Miranda facepalmed, "I've been telling her it's for communication but she doesn't believe me!"

"Uuuummm," Jaden rose his hand innocently, "For games?"

Goddammit Jaden, I thought. He had not seen the sarcasm behind her question. Ugh!

I tried to change the subject. "It was not necessary to take off your shoes Robin; you can just enter the room."

She looked at me blankly for a while and mumbled what sounded like "Just a habit and don't try to change the subject, the duel is just about to start, why weren't you picking up your PDAs huh?"

I opened my mouth to say something awesome but she cut me off "Okay, its not important anyways, we need to go!" She grabbed Jaden's arm and pushed him on his feet. "Hurry up and prepare, both schools are waiting for you!"

"The Princeton Brother's are so disrespectful! They even tried to disqualify Jaden!" Miranda exclaimed and I was surprised to see how annoyed she was.

I kicked Jaden, "Why are you still standing there, move your butt!" I snarled.

Jaden frantically picked his deck and other stuff and dashed from the dorms. I shrugged while Robin shook her head and we smiled at each other knowingly, and took after him.

I had found my solution about the little Princeton siblings.

They were the reason why Chazz was taking this duel seriously than normal. I wanted to help, I really did, but I was not in the position to do so. Maybe I could talk with Sam, but handling Chazz belonged Jaden.

There was a big gap between needing and wanting. After three minutes of sprinting we finally reached the arena where everyone was waiting. Correction, annoyed but still waiting.

"Go, go!" I pushed him to the stage. He flashed me a smile and took off.

I sat down on a seat, panting heavily. "Thanks." I said. "If it wasn't for you we'd be doomed."

Miranda and Robin shared a knowing look, "No problem."

"So, Chazz, you ready for our big rematch?" Jaden asked.

"Of course I am! I've been ready for a long time." Chazz smirked.

"Good."

"Then let's see what you got."

"With pleasure," Jaden activated his Duel Disk.

"No, the pleasure's gonna be all mine. Cause you're going down!" Chazz mimicked him.

"Duel,"

Chazz: 4000
Jaden: 4000

"Chazz it up, take it to him Chazz!" The North Academy boys cheered.

"What does Chazz it up mean?" Robin made a wry face. "

Bastion shrugged his shoulders, "It's probably just their way of encouraging Chazz."

Chazz took the first turn.

"For my first move, I'm gonna summon a monster with some bite. Rise up Masked Dragon (1100 defense) in defense mode!" A red, gray and purple dragon appeared. It crouched down before Chazz. "Now I end my turn."

"Not once you see what I've got for ya. I play, Elemental Hero Burstinatrix (1200 attack) in attack mode." The red female hero rose in a spout of fire.

"Actually, on second thought, I should say slayer mode. Cause that's just what she's gonna do to that dragon." Burstinatrix gathered a large fireball in her hands and hurled it at the enemy dragon.

"Awesome, Jaden's just taken the lead," Syrus cheered.

Alexis' eyes widened, "It's a trap!"

"You mean, he's taken the bait," Chazz corrected.

"Uh oh," Jaden realised his mistake.

"I activate my Masked Dragon's ability. You see, when this card is sent to the graveyard as a result of battle, I can summon a dragon type monster with 1500 or fewer attack points from my deck. And I have just the one. Go ahead and see for yourself. Come on out, Armed Dragon, LV 3 (1200 attack)."

A small pudgy dragon appeared in the last one's place. Its body was mostly orange, except for its neck, the top half of its head, the back of his hands, small wings, as well as its stubbed tail, which were a dull brown colour.

"A level monster," Chumley spoke up.

"If Jaden doesn't take the lead quickly, he's gonna have a hard time with these monsters." I sighed.

"Yeah, if Chazz plays his cards right, that dragon will get a lot bigger, and a lot more powerful," Alexis noted.

"Indeed," Bastion agreed. "I just wonder where Chazz ever got such a powerful card."

I don't know what happened to Chancellor Sheppard, but he rose from his chair and started to cheer for Jaden. "Let's go Jaden. Come on, Jaden it up!"

I groaned because I've had enough of these dumb jokes.

"Anyway sweet card Chazz, I can't wait to see wait to see what that armed Dragon can do." Jaden had a twinkle in his eyes.

"Don't worry; you'll have a front row seat." Chazz jeered.

"For now, I'll be throwing down a face-down and ending my turn." Jaden finished his turn as Chazz began his.

"Great, now I can start ending you." Chazz picked up his top card and grinned in anticipation. "You see Jaden during my standby phase, Armed Dragon's effect activates. So by sacrificing his level three form, I can summon Armed Dragon Level 5 from my hand or deck."

"This is not good for Jaden." Robin poked me with her elbow.

"I second that." I nodded.

"Now then, let's go ahead and get to it, shall we? Armed Dragon LV 5 (2400 attack) rise up!" The smaller dragon disappeared in a flash of light, and was replaced by another. It was a lot, lot bigger than the other one. The North Academy students started cheering loudly which made me irritated.

"Its effect has to have gotten stronger." Robin attempted to stand up, "Anyone want some popcorn, because this duel is getting tasty."

"No!" Everyone yelled, "How can you think of popcorn in this situation? Jaden is in a pinch!"

Miranda even punched her arm and I was surprised because Miranda rarely got violent.

Robin's aquamarine eyes clouded. "But a good duel is always worth popcorn."

"Be careful Jaden," Bastion warned. "By levelling up, has substantially increased. And he was powerful enough before."

"Aww man," Jaden practically wailed.

"Wow, Chazz. That thing's pretty sweet. But then, so is my trap! Hero Ring! And I'll equip it to Burstinatrix." The named trap card dissolved and materialized as a small red shield attached to the fire heroine's arm. "Now monsters with 1900 or more attack points can't attack. Hence the breaks,"

Chazz simply laughed. "You want breaks? I'll give you breaks, Jaden. Because even with that Hero Ring shield out, my Armed Dragon LV 5 is going to crush your creature,"

"What is that supposed to mean?" Jaden enquired.

"Armed Dragon's special ability, that's how Jaden. You see, by sending a monster from my hand to the graveyard, I can destroy one of your monsters with equal or less attack points than the one I tossed."

"Wait, so…"

"So since Flying Kamakiri #1 has more attack points than your monster…"

"Jaden's monster goes poof." I completed. This was not good at all.

"Sorry Burst, my bad."

"Go Armed Dragon LV 5," The big dragon roared as the spikes all around its body shot out, sailing through the air before coming down on the red heroine, blowing her away in an explosion. "And that was just his special ability. Its time for a direct attack with Infernal Blast," Armed Dragon opened its maw and cried out, at which red blades of energy shot out and slammed into Jaden, blasting him off his feet and sending him crashing into the ground further back.

Chazz: 4000
Jaden: 1600

"Jaden," I shouted, which pained my throat. "Give it your best! Come on, you can do better than this! Where did the next King of Games go?"

"Calm down, Jamie. He probably has a lot things going on in his sleeve." Miranda tried to cool me down by pulling me down to my seat.

Jaden flipped up to his feet. "Nice shot," he complimented Chazz. "Although, I've gotta say, I think for the next TV broadcast, I'd like to arrange to have a stunt double." Jaden laughed at this.

"Whatever. I'm placing one card face-down and ending my turn."

"He's finally acting like a Princeton," Jagger commented.

"That's true; I just hope he doesn't win too fast." The bearded Princeton looked at Slade with confusion on his face. "Hey, the longer he thrashed this kid, the more we make of commercial revenues."

I will take your commercial revenues and shove them up your...

Calm down Jamie, Jaden will be all right. I told myself. And my eyes found Sam's; she was watching her brother with determination in her eyes.

"My turn," Jaden announced. "You're in trouble now. I play Elemental Hero Bubbleman (800 attack) in attack mode." The water hero appeared on the field, his cape billowing behind him. "And when Bubbleman is summoned and there are no other cards out on my field, like right now, I'm allowed to draw two more cards. And now I'll use one of them, Polymerization."

"Famous polymerization huh," I heard Robin say. "Awesome!"

"So I'll fuse Elemental Hero Avian and Sparkman with Bubbleman to create… wait for it…" The three named heroes changed into a swirl of blue, green and yellow light which began to intertwine. "The Elemental Hero Tempest (2800 attack)" The lights merged to form the cannon armed, powerful winged hero.

"That's it, you go in now Jay!" Syrus cheered.

"Yeah," I cheered too. "Blow him up Jaden!"

"With fly boy there," Chazz sneered.

"You'd better believe it. And he gives a new definition to the term air power. Now go, Glider Strike!" Tempest flew into the air and cocked the weapon on his arm, firing a blast of blue energy which blew away the red and black dragon.

Chazz: 3600
Jaden: 1600

"Sorry Jaden, but you just wasted your move. Because I have my trap card, Call of the Haunted."

"Uh oh,"

"Oh boy…" I muttered.

"Not that one," Syrus moaned.

"Do you believe in ghosts? Well you're about to. Because this card let's me summon back any monster from my graveyard. And I bet you can guess which one I'm gonna pick. Armed Dragon LV 5, rise again." The named monster rose again on Chazz's field. (2400)

"Chazz it up! Chazz it up! Show no mercy!"

"Well, guess I'll just throw down a couple of face-downs and hope for the best." Two reverse cards appeared between Jaden and his monster.

"Get ready for me to mop this low rent Duel Academy floor with you, Jaden. Cause now, I'm using Armed Dragon's special ability. I'm discarding Despair from the Dark to the graveyard. And since it has 2800 attack points, your bird man's headed to the pet cemetery. Armed Dragon, destroy hero Tempest, with Shrapnel Blast." The dragon's spikes shot out towards Jaden's monster.

"I activate the spell De-Fusion. Tempest, de-fuse." Tempest separated into the three original monsters, avoiding the dragon's ability. (1400) (1000) (1200)

"Whoa, that was a close one," Alexis commented.

"No joke, he barely saved his monsters," Chumley added.

"Whatever, my dragon still has his attack to use. Go, Inferno Roar!" Armed Dragon roared and sent red blades of energy that destroyed Sparkman in an explosion that obscured the field. When the smoke cleared, Jaden was still standing as confident with his two monsters before him.

Jaden: 4600

"What!" Chazz exclaimed, visibly surprised. "Where did you get all those extra life-points?"

"Sorry Chazz, but just before you attacked, I activated my Elemental Recharge. And it gave me a thousand more life-points for each of my Elemental Heroes. So that was 3000 more points."

"Sweet," I pumped my fist in the air.

"Like that matters. Cause now I'm about to take this duel, and my dragon to the next level."

"What?"

"That's right. Since he destroyed one of your monsters in battle, at the end of my turn, I can upgrade Armed Dragon from LV 5 to LV 7. Won't you join me Jaden? In welcoming, the all powerful, Armed Dragon LV 7." The creature that took the other's place was even bigger. Its tail and neck were longer, black armour covered much of its body, including its head, and it had large steel wings extending from its back. (2800)

"Okay, so he's big," Jaden said. "But who knows, he could be friendly."

"You're not going to say that when his flames kiss your ass." Robin threw some popcorn in her mouth. Wait, how did she even..?

"That's strange," I heard Slade saying. "That monster wasn't in the suitcase I gave Chazz."

"What?" Yes, what?

"It had Armed Dragon LV 3 and 5, but no more than that."

"That little…"

"Why don't you show him how it really goes?" Chazz suggested.

"Chazz it up! Show him no mercy!"

"Aww, what's wrong? No so talkative anymore? You don't have anything to say, Jaden?"

"Yeah, I do. I've gotta get me one of those. He's so cool! Trade for him?"

That's Jaden Allen Yuki for you, always thinking about something else.

"No I won't trade for him! What's wrong with you? You should be scared of him, not admiring him!"

"But how could I not? He's an incredible monster and this is an incredible duel. How could anyone not be exited. I mean, this is as good as it gets. This is what dueling's all about. Thanks Chazz."

"Thanks? You're pitiful Jaden. Jumping up and down like some fool, never taking anything seriously, that's why you'll never be a champion. You see, it takes discipline to win. You need to have a sense of duty. You need to have some kind of plan. And I have a plan, and a sense of duty, and that's why I'm gonna beat you, Jaden. That's why I'll beat anyone in my way. I can conquer anyone! You got that! I'm gonna conquer the whole world!"

"Rrrriiiiiiiiiiigggghhhhtttttt," Syrus slumped in his seat. "That was…"

"Intense?" Chumley said.

"Overdone?" Bastion asked.

"Psychotic?" Robin and I said at the same time.

"Yes!" He yelled. "This is it! Something is off with Chazz!"

"Sooo, do you mind if I take my turn now?"

"Make it quick!"

"Chill alright, I'll place one card face-down and call it a turn. How's that for quick?"

"Not bad, but downright sluggish compared to how quick my dragon's gonna take out all your monsters. Watch this. I'm using my Armed Dragon's special ability. Now, by discarding a monster from my hand, all monsters you have out with equal or fewer attack points are automatically destroyed."

"That's not good."

"Oh no, that'll leave Jaden wide open!" Alexis noted.

"That is one impressive special power," Zane commented. I immediately wrinkled my nose. Like anybody needed you to say that Truesdale, we can all see it.

"I discard Armed Dragon LV 3 to the graveyard, so all your monsters with 1200 or less attack points will be completely wiped out. Go, Serrated Sonic Disk. Destroy!" The powerful dragon's underbelly glowed blue, and then shot out twin disks of blue energy which struck down Avian and Bubbleman.

"Jaden no," Syrus exclaimed.

"This doesn't look so good," I said. "But he can still get out of it."

"Chazz it up! Chazz it up! Chazz it up!"

"You got it!" Chazz relished in the praise he was receiving. "This duel's over. It's time for you, to go bye, bye! Armed Dragon; attack Jaden directly with, Dragon Talon Terror!" The red and black dragon raised its arm and swung it towards Jaden.

"Not so fast there Chazz, I have a trap, A Hero Emerges."

"All right," I stood up in excitement. "Go Jaden!"

"What? Not that one!"

"Yes that one. And just like last time, you pick a card from my hand, and if it's a monster, I automatically get to summon it."

Chazz looked annoyed at Jaden's move. "Obviously you're only holding one card, so I'll have to pick that one."

"Good choice, Chazz. Now I can bust out, Wroughtweiler (1200 defense), in defense mode." The metal dog sat down in front of the Slifer duelist.

"That doesn't change a thing. Your little metal doggy's gonna be recycled into a can of dog food, right after my Armed Dragon's done with it. Now go, crush that creature." The named monster brought his hand down on the defending hound, crushing it flat.

"Sorry Chazz, but before Wroughtweiler rolls belly up, his special ability activates. So now I get to take Polymerization and Burstinatrix in my graveyard, and add them to my hand."

"Not bad, slacker. But it'll take a lot more than that to beat my Armed Dragon. And a lot more than any pathetic monster you have in your deck. Face it Jaden, you're toast."

"I've gotta get something started." Jaden drew Winged Kuriboh, who called out to him. My Kuribon came out too. She started drawing circles above my head.

"Hey there Kuriboh, maybe you can help me get out of this jam. I summon Winged Kuriboh (200 defense) in defense mode!" Jaden's duel spirit materialized on his field. "That'll do for now."

"Why'd you bring him out, Jaden, you planning to dust around here or something?" Kuriboh grew agitated at Chazz's words. "What? Did I hurt his widdle feelings?"

"It's okay if you did boss," Ojama Yellow said as he appeared next to Chazz's head. "I mean, those fur balls give me the creeps. Just at them, all that hair. I mean, where did these monsters come from? It's so weird."

Oh wow! Chazz had duel spirits? "Oh well, I didn't know he had duel spirits." Robin commented in a surprised manner. "And look at them, so funny!"

"Get lost!" Chazz shot back. "If I want your opinion, I'll give it to you. You got that!"

"I got it, Boss," he answered dejectedly. "Sorry."

Winged Kuriboh hopped up on Jaden's shoulder and pointed to Ojama Yellow.

"What're you squeaking? Chazz has got a duel spirit? Hey, I see him. So Chazz, who's you're little friend?" Jaden looked at him curiously.

"It's nothing!" Chazz responded, at the same time as he frantically grabbed at the yellow spirit monster. "Just a figment of your imagination people, no duel spirits at all. Leave me alone!" He finally caught the spirit between his hand and it disappeared in a puff of smoke.

"Back to business, it's my turn. And your Kuriboh's turn to get blasted, Armed Dragon LV 7, attack with Dragon Talon Terror." The mighty dragon raised its arm and slammed it into the furry monster. "And I'll leave it at that."

"Wait, why didn't Chazz use his Armed Dragon's ability?" Syrus asked.

"Because Kuriboh's would have cancelled it out," Bastion explained. "The turn in which he's destroyed, Jaden takes no damage."

"My turn now and I activate, Legacy of a Hero. When I have two level four or below Elemental Heroes in the graveyard, this lets me draw three cards. Alright," Jaden said as he looked at his cards. "Just the card to turn this duel around,"

"Say what!" Chazz exclaimed.

"Here, see for yourself. Go, Special Hurricane!"

"What the,"

"By discarding one card from my hand I can use this spell card, and destroy all monsters that were special summoned." The Armed Dragon struggled against the tornado that blew its way, but it was of no use and it was destroyed anyway.

"Now Chazz's all empty," I said. "Well done Jaden!"

"This can't be!" Chazz said.

"Oh it be alright. And now you be in some big time trouble. Cause your best monsters off the field, and you're all alone on it."

"So lishus, that's totally what I would've done. If I had those cards and if Jaden were walking me through it step by step."

"Are you sure that's all?" Bastion asked. "Are you sure you wouldn't need him to hold your hand as well."

"Now follow through and take it to Chazz's life-points," Syrus said.

"You got it Sy. I summon, Elemental Hero Wildheart (1500 attack) in attack mode." The muscular tribal hero appeared in front of Jaden. "And now Chazz, you're in for some heart break. Uhh… actually, that doesn't make any sense. Just attack," Jaden's warrior jumped up in the air and drew his large sword, hitting Chazz with a downward slash that sent him crashing back.

Chazz: 2100
Jaden: 1600

"Ha ha, the prize is so mine!" Sheppard gloated to Foster. "The prize is so mine! After all, looks like your boy's down for the count. Soooorry,"

"Oh no he's not,"

"Chazz get up! Chazz get up! Chazz get up!" The North Academy started beating the floor with their feet.

"It's, my turn. I play, Graveyard in the Fourth Dimension. This baby lets me take two monsters from my graveyard and shuffle them into my deck. Sure, they have to be a special kind of monsters, but it's just the kind I need. My Armed Dragons and I happen to have another one in my hand as well. I summon Armed Dragon LV 3 (900 defense)." The pudgy orange and brown dragon crouched down on Chazz's field.

"Chazz it up, Chazz it up,"

"Yeah, and now Jaden's about to be washed up. I'll place one card face-down and end my turn." Chazz looked like he was fighting with himself for a second. "I'm trying!"

"Uhh, trying what? Earth to Chazz," Jaden then noticed that Chazz was looking at his two brothers sitting in the higher seats. "His brothers… Oh man…" he muttered and he stole a glance toward me. We shared a look of agreement. "Wildheart, attack that Armed Dragon with, Wild Slash!" The tribal warrior charged Chazz's dragon and took him out with one swing of his sword.

"Thanks for that. Now I can play my trap, it's called the Grave of Enkindling. Since a monster was just destroyed in battle, it lets us both summon a monster from our graveyard and play it in defense mode. And I choose another Armed Dragon, this time, LV 5 (1700 defense)." The taller red and black dragon rose on the field with its arms crossed.

"Grave of Enkindling made that way to easy," Syrus said. "It's practically unfair. Isn't there any drawback to using it?"

"If I recall correctly, by rule, the resurrected monster must remain in defense mode," Bastion explained. "After all, with its special ability, Chazz can destroy one of Jaden's monsters by discarding a monster from his hand with more or equal attack points."

"Well, what're you waiting for? Take a monster from your graveyard. But let me tell you, it's gonna be a round trip."

"Uh monster, sorry, but I think you mean monsters."

"Please, what are you talking about? My trap only allows you to bring one monster back."

"I'm bringing back Hero Kid (600 defense) from the graveyard." A young boy wearing a red and white astronaut like suit with a dome helmet and wearing an eye mask kneeled down beside Wildheart.

"What? He wasn't in your graveyard."

"Think again. Remember what I did last turn?"

"Oh yeah,"

"And like I said, it's not just him, cause when Hero Kid is special summoned, and I get to call out every other Hero Kid in my deck." Two more young boys just like the first appeared. "And now I'll throw down a face-down and call it a turn."

"I see, by playing three monsters, you think I'll have to discard three cards to destroy them, right? You wish. I don't have to get rid of three cards, all I have to play two."

"Uh-oh, I don't like where this is going." Robin commented. "Want some popcorn?" She asked me.

"No!" I declined her offer a bit rudely.

"Here goes. I activate the spell card, Level Up."

"Uh oh,"

"This is bad," Syrus moaned.

"You moan too much." Robin said, looking uninterested.

"Now thanks to this, I can level up my monster, so now he becomes, Armed Dragon Level 7 (2800 attack)." The defending dragon disappeared and was replaced by its larger, more powerful form.

Slade grinned at this. "Yes!"

I frowned. "No!" His brothers were annoying!

"Good!" Slade said.

"No!" Zane exclaimed. "With that, Chazz can destroy all of Jaden's monsters if he has one in his hand with enough attack points."

"Chazz it up! Chazz it up! Chazz it up!"

"I've been waiting a long time to tell you this, Jaden. So listen up. I got my game on. And I'm about to turn yours off."

"Then keep it rolling. Cause you ain't seen nothing yet. Now, like I said, I've got two cards to play, and Level Up was just the first." Chazz chuckled to himself. "You see Jaden, I'm about to bring Armed Dragon to his ultimate level."

"Wait a sec," Chumley said. "So, Armed Dragon LV 7 isn't the highest Chazz can go?"

"Apparently not," Robin answered. "I have a bad feeling about this."

"Ditto," I agreed with her.

"Now, by sacrificing my Armed Dragon in his current form, I can summon the creature of your demise. So come on out, Armed Dragon LV 10 (3000 attack)!" Chazz's dragon disappeared and was succeeded by one that was even bigger. It stood on two legs like Wildheart, its body was red, and it was covered in glistening metal armour from head to shoulders and on its front. Its claws, mask, spikes and steel wings shone with a menacing glint.

"Whoa! That's big!" Jaden exclaimed.

"You're right. And just wait until you see his special ability. By discarding any card in my hand, I can destroy every one of your monsters."

"This is not good." I was starting to freak out.

"Any card," Alexis exclaimed.

"Aww man," Syrus slumped

Chazz put one of his cards in the graveyard. "Armed Dragon, destroy!" The most powerful monster yet roared loudly, creating a sound wave that blew away all of Jaden's monsters. "And now, attack. Static Orb Thrust," The Armed Dragon created a ball of sizzling black and purple energy in the palm of its hand. It then launched it directly at Jaden, creating an explosion that blew away most of his life-points.

Chazz: 2100
Jaden: 1600

"Jaden," We all cried out.

"Tell you what, Jaden. If you surrender now, I might not embarrass you on global TV. Oh wait, I already did." Chazz laughed maniacally.

"Jaden, keep fighting, don't give up!" Worry seeped into Sheppard's voice.

"Who's giving up? I mean, I'm having way too much fun to give up. After all, that's what dueling's all about, win or lose. Cause if you're having fun, you win every time."

"Gag me."

"It's true. If I can have fun right now losing, shouldn't you be able to do the same while winning? It's seriously not that hard. Despite what your brothers might want you to believe."

Oh no, here we go.

"What? What do you know about my brothers?"

"Well, for starters, I know they're the ones you're dueling for. And the ones putting all this pressure on you come on Chazz. Remember when you dueled for the excitement of it?"

"I only duel to win." Chazz snorted.

"Isn't he a hard tsundere?" Robin commented.

"A tsundere," I asked.

"What's that?" Syrus and Miranda chipped in.

"Um…" Robin blinked. "I'll explain you later."

"Well, we'll see where that get's you. So here goes."

"Yes!" I exclaimed. "Come on Jaden! Show him what you've got!"

"Alright then, I play, The Warrior Returning Alive. Now I can bring a Warrior Type monster back from the grave and to my hand. And I think I'll choose my favourite feathered friend, Elemental Hero Avian. And then, with Polymerization and Burstinatrix, I'll make, the Elemental Hero Flame Wingman (2100 attack)." The red and greed heroes merged and created Jaden's headliner.

"So? He doesn't stand a chance against my monster. Armed Dragon has 3000 attack points. You're Wingman only has 2100. You're way outmatched."

"Wrong Chazz because I'm inviting my three Hero Kids to come back out and play," A bunch of the people in the audience were surprised by this statement.

"To play,"

"Yeah with your points, I play Miracle Kids. Here's how it works. For every Hero Kid I have in the graveyard, your Armed Dragon loses 400 attack points. And since I have three, Armed Dragon's attack points decrease by 1200." The three kids' ghosts appeared and lunged at the dragon, fading upon contact, but not without draining his power to 1800.

"Now who's outmatched? Actually, don't answer that, Flame Wingman will for you." The named hero shot a blast of fire from its dragon head arm and Chazz's monster.

"Ahh, Chazz is gonna lose!" The megaphone crewman exclaimed. "Cut the transmission! Cut it right now!" TV screens all around that were showing the duel went blank, much to the disappointment of the people watching. The fire then overcame Armed Dragon.

Chazz: 1800
Jaden: 1600

"Alright, Jaden just took out that Armed Dragon with one attack."

"And the assault's not over yet, Syrus," Bastion noted. "Flame Wingman still has his super power. It comes next."

"Yeah, and it's really gonna burn Chazz," Alexis commented. "His life-points will now take damage equal to his destroyed monster's attack points. That's 1800."

Chazz: 0
Jaden: 1600

"Go Jaden!" I shouted. "You did it Jay!" I jumped up and down in joy.

"Awesome duel," Robin exclaimed before we both high fived each other.

I saw Zane nodding in approval out of the corner of my eye. Syrus and Chumley were hugging each other and Bastion was lost in his thoughts.

I rushed to Jaden and gave him a big hug. "I...can't...breathe!"

"Oh," I let go of him, causing him to fall on the floor. "Sorry!"

"Don't say that now!" Jaden said under his breath.

He stood up and composed himself. Then he did his signature duel pose towards the cameras. "That's game!"

I smiled, but it got wiped away when I saw Chazz.

He was on his hands and knees. My eyes glued on Sam, who was on the verge of crying as well. She had clapped her hands on her mouth and couldn't stop looking at Chazz. It was a really miserable sight and I had to turn away.

"You loser, you dog! You've disgraced yourself! You've disgraced the Princeton name!" Slade reproached him. Jagger was following him with an enraged face.

"You are no brother of ours anymore."

Chazz's head was low. "Just give me… another chance." His voice shook a little in the end.

"The cameras, the rare cards, none of which you used, might I add."

"Sorry, I thought I could win this by myself." Chazz didn't look at them. Jaden and I looked at each other with worry.

"Yourself" Jagger grabbed Chazz by the front of his shirt and held him up in front of his face.

"When could you do anything by yourself, Chazz?"

"I just…" but Slade would hear nothing of it. He let go of Chazz with one hand and pulled it back, as if to smack him, but found that his arm was stopped by someone else before he had a chance to bring it forward.

All of the gang surrounded us now. And to my surprise, I saw Robin holding Slade's arm with an iron grip. Her expression were stern. I couldn't understand, she seemed so calm, how did she do that? Slade's mouth were wide open and his eyes were glassy.

"Let him go." Robin said in a low voice. Her grip tightened, making Slade wince a little.

"You…" Jagger backed away, "You…Daughter of…" He paled, beads of sweat formed on his face as his expression turned into pure horror from shock.

"Well hello." Robin's usually aquamarine eyes were a deep sea blue colour. "Long time no see? How's…'the business' going?"

Slade was struggling to get free as Chazz got into his feet and took in his surroundings. Finally with a sharp move, Robin threw Slade at Jagger. I'm not kidding! Slade frigging flew in the air! He knocked Jagger away and they both fell on the floor.

Everyone was gaping at Robin.

"Hey are you okay Chazz?" Robin kneeled in front of a surprised Chazz.

"I'm fine," he said dejectedly after recovering.

"No you aren't," Slade shot back; he was standing on his feet after that performance by Robin. "You lost!" It looked like he still had the energy to talk back.

"Hey, Chazz may have lost the duel," Jaden started. "But how could he not with you two jerks breathing down his neck?"

"Two jerks?" Slade asked, venom seeping into his voice as he massaged his wrist. "Do you have any idea who we are? We could have you crushed, kid."

"What? You think you are something? Who do you think you are to do something like this?" I shouted.

"Why are you defending him?" Jagger finally stood up, his eyes going back and forth between Robin and us. "He lost, he's nobody now! Disowned, beaten, and lost all of his pride! Cameras got it all!"

It was clear that Sam could no longer stand to see her brother being bashed because she ran in between Slade and Jagger.

"That's enough! If you disown Chazz, then you disown me as well! Chazz dueled superbly in this duel and I highly doubt that you two losers could match his dueling ability! He was the person who won, not you two! Now run along, we never want to see you two losers again! Isn't that right Chazz?" Sam asked her brother as she knelt beside him.

"You're just saying that," Chazz said with his head bowed down. "I mean, come on. Nobody else believes that."

"We do Chazz!" one of the North Academy boys said.

"And we do too." I patted him on shoulder. "All of Duel Academy do. Just look around.

Chazz raised his head to find a crowd yelling, "Chazz it up! Chazz it up! Chazz it up! Chazz it up! Chazz it up! Chazz it up! Chazz it up! Chazz it up,"

I think I could even see a tear glisten out of the corner of his eye.

As soon as all the visitors had left, a party was held in the Slifer Red dorm in order to celebrate Jaden winning the duel. Plus Chazz was now a member of Duel Academy again, however since he was technically a transfer student, he was stuck in the Slifer Red dorm. I had never seen a teenage boy whine as much as Chazz had during that moment in time.

It was an unofficial party (which basically meant that none of the teachers had approved it) which was being hosted by Sam. Most people were surprised about that because everybody viewed Sam as a nerd apart from those who actually knew her. Every student from every dorm was invited, providing that they kept a civil tongue.

The party was soon in heavy swing because Jaden was controlling the music. The highlight of the evening had to be when he played 'Gangnam Style' by Psy and Bastion was dared to do the dance that went along with it. It was hilarious because Bastion is meant to be the serious one out of us all. That was when I noticed that Robin was the only one not having a good time, so I followed her when she walked outside. She was leaning on the wooden banister and staring at the starry night.

"Penny for your thoughts," I asked her as I leant on the banister myself.

Robin looked startled, "Why aren't you inside enjoying the party?"

I smirked, "I could be asking you the same thing."

She shook her head, "Parties aren't really my thing."

My eyes widened, "What?! But everybody loves a good party!" I protested as she sighed.

"If you say so,"

I raked my brain; I knew I had to say something to fill this awkward silence.

"So...why were Slade and Jagger so afraid of you?" That question had been lingering in my mind since the event took place.

I knew instantly that it was a bad question to ask from the way her body stiffened, "...I wouldn't say afraid. Somebody just needed to put them in their place and I doubt that anybody has ever stood up to them before so they were just surprised and oh look! A piñata," she pointed at a multicoloured horse that was covered in rainbow coloured tissue paper.

Miranda was blindfolded and trying to whack it with a brown stick, but epically failing. I couldn't help but giggle at how everybody was goading her, yet she wasn't even close to it.

I don't buy what Robin is saying, but if I doubt her then I'll ruin the foundation of our friendship so for now I'll have to drop it.

"Yeah you're probably right and hey, could you show me one of those cool karate moves you pulled on Slade?" I asked in an enthusiastic tone.

Her eyes brightened up almost instantly, probably because I had changed the subject. "Sure! Just..."

Robin started to take a fighting stance and I mimicked her, but I think I got it wrong because Robin walked up behind me and started to adjust my arms.

"Straighten your arms and keep your feet shoulder width apart." She scolded as she moulded my limbs.

Neither of us noticed Jaden coming up to us, so when he put his hand on Robin's shoulder, she grabbed my right shoulder and threw me towards Jaden except he ducked and I ended up flying into the air and hitting the piñata. I sorta hugged it to my chest before I fell onto the ground which caused all the candy to spill out onto the floor.

"Waaaaaaah that was so not cool Robin," I wailed as the entire crowd jumped on top of me in order to steal the candy.

"Sorry Jamie!" Robin and Jaden shouted at me as I felt multiple hands grab at pieces of my body.

I'm going to kill Robin!
